There are countless handsome men in the world, so the host can change them every day if he wants.

Chapter 42 Ink Dust

"Good morning, Yan Yan!" Chu Chu smiled brightly, as if there was nothing in the world that could make her unhappy. To Lu Jin Yan, Chu Chu was like her little sun.

"Good morning, Yan'er!" Mo Xuan had surprisingly learned Lu Jinyan's way of greeting her. However, this "Yan'er" made Lu Jinyan feel extremely uncomfortable.

It's not that it's unpleasant to say, but it always feels strange when someone who usually speaks coldly and rudely to you suddenly greets you with a smile and speaks softly.

She was used to her previous way of getting along with Mo Xuan, and the sudden transformation of the aloof male god into a clingy little devil was a change that she wasn't quite used to.

However, she didn't dislike him. Now, Mo Xuan seemed like a real person, a person with feelings and emotions. No, he should be called a demon.

In the past, Mo Xuan gave her the feeling of being a block of wood, a block of wood without any emotion!

"Good morning, Miss Lu!" Chu Li grinned and greeted Lu Jinyan as well, but in his heart he was thinking, "Good morning my ass! The sun is already high in the sky, and my master has been practicing martial arts for ages!"

Although he was happy that his master, this iron tree, had finally blossomed, it was just that the object of his affections...

It seems to have nothing to offer besides being aesthetically pleasing...

The key point is that he felt that Miss Lu didn't seem to have much affection for his master. He didn't know if he was wrong, after all, he had never been in a relationship and didn't know.

He was just a little worried about his lord and the Demon King. Such a woman would be fine as a concubine, but it might be difficult for her to become the mistress of the house.

After all, the master will be the one to take over that position in the future. His partner doesn't have to be very powerful, but at least he should be able to help the master with some affairs.

This Miss Lu has virtually no demonic power; she's so weak that any minor demon could easily defeat her. If she were to become the matriarch, people would probably laugh their heads off.

Although the lord dotes on his master, he probably won't agree to this matter. After all, even someone as unfavored as the eldest son has to have the Demon King decide his marriage.

Despite having many concubines and children, the eldest son has not yet officially married. Although the lord and the demon king have not said much, it is obvious to anyone with discerning eyes that they hope the master will marry first, as this would be beneficial for him to take over the position in the future.

He was his master's confidant, and although he knew he should advise his master more at this time, as a confidant, he was also the one who knew best what his master needed.

For the first time in thousands of years, the master has found someone he likes. How could he possibly say it? Oh well, things will work themselves out. Besides, whether this relationship will last is still uncertain. Let's just make the master happy for now.

After a quick breakfast, Lu Jinyan took Chuchu out again. It was already late autumn, and the New Year was just around the corner. She needed to buy some New Year's goods to prepare in advance.

Lu Jinyan is a foodie, that much is certain. When she was little, she often helped her grandmother prepare for the New Year, so this little thing was no problem for her. She bought all kinds of things, such as chicken, duck, fish and meat, and even some meat from monsters.

Then she bought some red paper, scissors, and other things to make some paper cuttings to make them look more festive. With the New Year approaching, Lu Jinyan was unusually generous this time when she bought things, instead of being stingy.

The demon realm doesn't seem to be enthusiastic about festivals like the New Year. Unlike modern times, where red lanterns are hung all over the streets half a month in advance and people start preparing for the New Year, everything here seems to be as usual.

They bought several large bundles of meat, as well as some other vegetables, and then the two of them went home satisfied. They cleaned the chickens, ducks, and fish, then rubbed them with salt and put them in the smokehouse she made herself. She asked Moxuan to help her get some cypress branches to smoke them all into cured meat.

The monster meat was used to make beef jerky, and it was all turned into jerky. She made a lot, intending to give some to Uncle Mu and the others later. Mo Xuan was like an obedient child, doing whatever Lu Jinyan asked him to do the whole time.

Chu Li couldn't bear to watch any longer and routinely boosted Lu Jinyan's favorability rating, which she watched with satisfaction as it rose from 94 to 95.

I silently prayed that time would slow down; I was only five o'clock away from success... At most, I could finish the task in five days. Unfortunately, fate always likes to play tricks on people.

Just as the group was happily preparing for the New Year, someone came knocking. Before the person even arrived, Mo Xuan's expression hardened, and Chu Li also went on high alert.

Lu Jinyan was a little confused. How did the battle mode suddenly start?

"Tongzi, come out here, what's going on?"

Lu Jinyan had just blocked the system because she thought he was too noisy. He kept nagging all day long, just like a menopausal old lady.

"Heh, now you remember me? Too late!" the system said irritably.

That wretched host, he actually blocked her! Now let's see what she'll do.

"What's late? Explain yourself clearly!" Lu Jinyan looked completely bewildered, which angered the system so much that it stopped responding to her.

"System? System?" Lu Jinyan called out several times but received no response, which made her somewhat helpless.

"Yan'er, go inside. No matter what happens later, don't come out!" Mo Xuan pulled Lu Jinyan up and tried to take her back inside.

"It's too late, Master..." Chu Li said softly from the side.

Lu Jinyan still looked confused when she heard a loud bang as her courtyard gate was forcefully flung open, followed by a gust of wind.

Mo Xuan pulled Lu Jinyan into his arms, while Chu Li shielded Chu Chu behind him.

"Brother Xuan, it's been a long time! I never expected you to be hiding here. I've been looking for you everywhere!" A voice came from the doorway.

Lu Jinyan was startled. Brother? Xuan Di? Mo Xuan's brother, Mo Chen?

Lu Jinyan secretly lifted her head from Mo Xuan's arms and glanced at the person who walked in through the door. It was a face that looked nine-tenths like Mo Xuan's, the only difference being that there was a scar on his left cheek that almost ran through his entire left cheek.

Lu Jinyan felt a wave of despair wash over her. She was doomed. The Great Demon King was here. Was she about to die?

In the original story, Mo Chen chased after Mo Xuan to kill him, and the female lead almost lost her life to barely escape with Mo Xuan. Keep in mind that at that time, the female lead's cultivation level was not much lower than Mo Xuan's.
